I’m back.
I’ve been suffering from crippling depression lately, so much so that I went almost a week and only had one cup of tea. Well, a change of scenery (I’m at the parents house again) and I seem to be doing better. So I decided to try something new this morning.
Adagio Orange is another one of it’s black tea fruit blends. The smell in the bag is SUUUPER orange. I know it won’t translate over into taste though, it never does with these.
Brewed western style, boiling water, 3:30 Minutes.
Taste is… well it’s better than I was expecting. I can taste orange in the sip, but it is unfortunately a background note. I really wish it was more prominent, as what I do taste of the orange is sweet, not tart. But mostly it’s just an ok black tea with a hint of orange. It’s sad, the smell in the bag is always so promising with these. Heck, even the brewed cup smells more of orange than it actually tastes. That’s not to say it’s bad. I don’t know if it is because I haven’t really had tea in a week, but I am enjoying it. It’s decent. I probably wouldn’t reorder it though. I’m sure there are better orange blends out there that I just haven’t found yet.

Tea made an major inroad into my life when I was going through some hefty depression. Looking back, I think it was a healthy activity to dive into when feeling like I had a lack of control in my life.
Hang in there Shanie. You got this. Glad you have some family to turn to. I’ll have a cup of tea to you :)
100% have to echo Derk; I first got into tea following a move to a new city at a time where I felt super depressed. I had no direction in my life, new no one in my new town, and was in a highly self destructive place. Tea provided me with something to be excited about, and that engaged me physically as an activity and intellectually through learning about it. In finding Steepster, I was able to become a part of a community and that sort of crossed the final “box” of what I was missing in my life – a connection with people until I was able to meet new people in the city I had moved to and form relationships that way as well.
Family is the best sometimes. I am sure they treasure you as you treasure them.
Thanks guys for the support. I seem to be slowly crawling my way out. This is the second day in a row I’ve slept through the night and woken up in the morning, even though I had a long nap yesterday afternoon. I seem to be doing a bit better overall, and appreciate your kind words. Thanks.
I’ve been going through a bad depression right now too, and have noticed my tea hobby isn’t quite as “involved” as it once was. I think it’s just that typical “lack of energy toward things you normally enjoy” going on, but I’m trying to make an effort. Feel free to send me a message if you want to talk.
